Posted February 5, 200718 yr I've been having alot of problems with my cd drive lately. It skips whenever I try to play an audio cd and freezes occasionaly when reading data cds. It eventually got bad enough that I had it sent into the shop. They sent it back saying that "nothing was wrong with it, but you are excessively multitasking". They had it benchmark tested and everything. But even when I have turned off all other programs and turned off all unnecessary processes it still doesnt work, any suggestions?

ROFLMAO sucka They didnt benchmark test it and everything. You just have a bad drive and they'll never replace it cuz it "works". Edit, make sure you have the right mode set for your IDE channels
February 6, 200718 yr Author to clarify for this thread, i now know that this is not a hardware problem. shutting down other applications does help (a little) but its pretty temperamental. also, if it works with realplayer and then i try to play the same cd in windows media player it will then screw up quite thoroughly until i restart the computer :thinker: its probably just my shitty ass 2004 computer that cant handle running background processes and reading a cd at the same time
